All the classes in Year 1 do the same syllabus. Only that 109-113 are made up of GEP students and top PSLE scorers, so they would progress at a faster pace.[/quote]


Thanks for the clarification.

Can I please ask if 113,213,313 & 413 are where the best students are placed?

No, because 313 and 413 are grouped based on their subject combi. For 113 and 213 i can't give you a guaranteed answer, because every class has people that do well and usually the teachers don't tell us the average class GPAs so nobody really knows(or bothers)

Thank you very much. As you can imagine from my username, I do get spaced out.

One more question, if I may. I was made to understand that all the Sec 1 classes will be SBGE but going through the thread, I get the impression that only 109~113 are recognized as the GEP class. Did I get my initial understanding wrong? :? :?

Hi newbie here. dd has a co from rgs. gep, in case you ask. Was wondering if anybody heard of the talent development program? What is this? :?

Hi,

When your DD reports to RGS in Dec, she will be given a file which will contain all the info on the various special programmes under Talent Devt.
The special programmes for year 1s include:
- Music Elective Prog
- Special Arts Prog
- Regional Studies Prog
- 3rd Lang
- Malay Special Prog
- Chinese Special Prog

My DD is only in year 1...if not wrong, from year 2 onwards, there're others like Odyssey of the Mind.

There are conditions to be fulfilled before your DD is allowed to take up the Prog. If you want more info, I suggest you post the questions in the RGS thread.

Oh, and congrats on the CO.

Thank you very much for your kind response. Much appreciated. :salute:
